The Seagull
"The characters in this classic seek meaning and anchors. They love each other, talk past one another, try to believe in one another, and through this display their humanity in a humorous and moving way—just like you and me. The actors astonish us with their unbridled energy, radicality, and their delight in giving everything on stage." Thierry Mousset, director.
It’s summer. It’s hot, and a family gathers by the lake. Konstantin has quit his studies and, with Nina, whom he is madly in love with, prepares a play that aims to revolutionize theater. In the audience are his mother, the renowned Arkadina, and her lover, the famous writer Trigorine. Yet Konstantin’s worst nightmare comes true: before the play ends, a quarrel breaks out. Familial relationships are deeply strained, new couples form, and nothing will ever be the same. Tchekhov’s "The Seagull" is one of the most performed plays worldwide, and for the first time, this text is presented in a modern adaptation in Luxembourgish. Free, direct, unfiltered. The characters, amidst generational conflict and social tensions, remain as relevant as ever. What place do the young hold? What is worth fighting for? Where are compromises made, where does manipulation begin, and what should one believe in life?
